Enderal - Quality of Life Mod's 2025
Mod Organizer 2
You should launch your game from mod manager using Enderal Special Edition (SKSE) file not Enderal Special Edition Launcher in order to avoid errors (it should look like on the picture below). If you want to adjust graphic settings/etc just launch Enderal from Steam, do the changes, save and exit. After that launch Enderal Special Edition (SKSE) from mod manager.

If mod is downloaded using MANUAL DOWNLOAD or it's downloaded not from Nexus (like some community patches, for example) then you have to use "Install new mod from an archive" feature in order to install them (files must be stored in the archive (.rar file)).

Bug Fixes
This mod fixes several issues with the game and also includes some small gameplay/balance fixes. (english/german/russian)
SkyUI
Obviously the base for Skyrim's UI.
Skyrim Script Extender - SKSE
Fixed Mesh Lighting
Mainly plants and trees which are too bright outside under shadows especially during daytime are fixed. it also fixes the glow at certain times of the day.


Tracking Tool
This mod provides large number of functions and will provide great convenience for you in collecting specific items, doing quest and completing steam achievements of Enderal.

VioLens - A Killmove Mod SE
VioLens - A Killmove Mod gives you in-game control over both Ranged and Melee Killmoves.



Requirements
SkyUI
SKSE64
JContainers SE
Only required for use of the Profile System.
NPC Overhaul
Overhaul of all NPCs in Enderal. Most important NPCs are given unique look.


REQUIREMENTS
You need to check if SKSE.ini (Data/SKSE/SKSE.ini) has these lines, if not - add it.
[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048
So you can see high resolution tints for Unique NPCs.

In Enderal Launcher
Settings > Details > Textures
Set textures to High or more
(or it will cause issues with some NPCs)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
(But not required, use what you like)
Bijin Skin UNP and CBBE SE
Tempered Skins for Males - Vanilla and SOS versions
SC - KS Hairdos Retextured
More information about this mods in "optional section".

Armor Replacer SE
This mod replaces some of the armors present in the game in order to make your journey to Enderal more aesthetically different from Skyrim.
This mod replaces with new textures and meshes these armors: Blade/Pyrean, Elven/Aeterna, Ebony/Righteous, Wolf/Rune, Dwarf/Starling, Hircine robes/ Arveldhiin and Navigator.

Unique Armor Sets Replacer
High-quality and lore friendly replacers for many of Enderal's unique armor sets.
Enhanced Blood Textures Enderal SE
A blood overhaul mod.

New Features (Plugin + Scripts):
  • Increased blood amount during combat and killmoves, every hit now produces blood splatters
  • Bleeding out npcs will now leave behind blood drips
  • Additional blood spurts for decapitation and throat slits killmoves
  • Blood trail when health is below 50%
  • Damage based splatter amount and (Configurable to match damage mods)
  • Pools of blood
  • Blood will have a different soaked appearance on soft surfaces (snow, dirt, ash, sand)
  • Green blood for spiders and chaurus
  • Dwarven automatons bleed oil
  • New spasm effects
  • Blood spatter and blood drip sounds
  • Mod Menu Support

Ancestral Spirit Replacer
Replaces the models Ancestral Spirits with high quality alternatives.
This mod includes 4 different variants. Choose only one of them.

Pus Beetle Replacer
Replaces the models Pus Beetles with high quality alternatives.

Dragonbreaker UI
This addon includes the Hero menu, Tween menu, Main menu, Loading screen frame, and Text Entry (house naming) menus reskinned for Dragonbreaker UI. So the whole UI can be replaced to give Enderal's interface a very different visual feel to Skyrim if you wished.


Installation and Requirements
Follow the installation requirements and process on Dragonbreaker UI and then simply install this mod next, overwriting any original files.
Installation and Requirements
Requirements:
SkyUI - obviously the base for Skyrim's UI
Dear Diary Dark - either the Warm or White version is fine. Dragonbreaker UI overwrites almost all of DD's files anyway, to the extent it will technically work without DD being installed prior, but you would miss out on some of the beneficial sorting code in list menus. And I think DD's mouse cursor suits this UI perfectly also.
SkyHUD - Required for the Compass reskin, and the HUD more generally if you're not planning to use TrueHUD
TrueHUD - Highly recommended for HUD replacement


Installation:
Simply download and install this mod with your preferred mod manager.
I recommend Mod Organizer 2

↳ Optional
Bijin Skin UNP and CBBE SE (18+)
Skin textures for CBBE and UNP made by rxkx22.
Compatible with CBBE Special and UUNP Special

Requirements:
Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer -CBBE-

A female body replacer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

WARNING:
All of these physics bodies absolutely require you to have the XPMSSE skeleton installed, or your game will crash!
Additionally, you need a physics system such as CBPC or HDT SMP.
UNP Female Body Renewal - A female face and body replacer
This is a female face & body replacer with good looking body proportions and realistic textures
New Ice Claw Effect
With this mod you have the option (independent of the overhaul) that an ice claws gives you either: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25 or 40 points per mushroom consumption.
Craftable Lockpicks
Adds a lockpick blueprint that can be found in the False Dog Tavern which allows the player to craft lockpicks at forges using iron ingots.
Waiting Unlocked
This mod will re-enable the waiting function like in vanilla Skyrim.
By default, waiting is turned off in Enderal, you can only sleep in beds.
Dynamic Fast Travel
By default you can't fast travel in Enderal (only via special service like carriages in Skyrim). This mod re-enable fast travel.
